TONY'S POV
As soon as Lisa cut the call, I set off to check if my mother's Jewels were intact. She left me the family jewels after she died of a stroke many years back. Lisa was close to me by then, she put me together and cared, at least that's what I thought. She is a good pretender.
I matched straight to the safe and found it half open, there was nothing. It was empty.
"How dare she!! So Melanie was right! Lisa Young you have messed with the wrong man" he grunted.
Driven by rage, I dialed the police.
"Hello inspector, I'd like to report Ms Lisa Young, my ex wife. For theft-"
I returned to Melanie and found her already dressed up, everyone important was already set.
I looked at Lisa's picture one more time and nothing but hate filled my heart. I hated her with passion, for not giving me a child, for hiding so many things from me and for stealing from me. From my family.
The jewels are worth millions of dollars, they weren't even up for sale and only family members knew about the jewels. Tony being the only member left, he protected it with his life.
He hoped to pass it to his future children.
Tony marched to his dressing room fuming with anger. His face was red and his face held no expression.
LISA'S POV
"Lisa there is someone at the counter, Lisa! Can't you hear me- " Alice was cut short. She saw two strong officers in uniform, one held a gun and the other had a serious look on his face.
"Are you Ms Young?" The first officer asked.
"No, um is there some kind of trouble?" Alice question. She had a blunt shock on her face. She could not understand what was going on.
"Hey I was busy cleaning the jewelry for the client-" Lisa stopped in her tracks. She looked at the officers and felt a horrible feeling in her guts.
Something was about to go horribly wrong.
" Ma'am you are under arrest for theft, anything you say or do will be used against you against the court of law-" the officer proceeded. He marched towards Lisa, handcuffed her immediately with no remorse. They dragged and pushed her like a hard core criminal.
"I didn't do anything! Let me go!" Lisa sobbed.
"Shut up, don't make this worse ma'am. We have orders to follow". The second officer barked. He drew his gun at her, Lisa's eyes turned into saucers. Fear ran through her veins, her face was pale as a ghost. She was scared for her life.
At this moment, she prayed Liam would save her.
"Who would do such a thing to me?" She sobbed.
They reached the police station, Lisa was thrown into custody immediately. Alice showed up hoping to see Lisa, but was refused entry by the guards. With orders from Tony himself.
She sat by the bench across the street, devastated and hopeless. How was she going to help her best friend now? She didn't even have Liam's contact.
An hour later, Tony showed up with Melanie, in a white gown. Melanie marched straight to the bars, lifted her hand and showed her new ring. Tony hadn't noticed, to him. Melanie was an angel who did no wrong and was always right. She was his perfect angel.
"You are about to feel the most unimaginable pain! You witch!" Tony spat. "How dare you steal from my family? Your job was to leave that house with your filthy clothes Oh you thought I'll let it slide? I have proof."
"But I didn't do it, I left that house without anything, Alice can tell you the truth!" She begged.
"You mean the same Alice who snitched on you about the theft? You are pathetic! Guards, make sure she learns a serious lesson about stealing from the Williams." Tony grunted.
Lisa saw horror, a horrible fear waved down her spine. She had never seen Tony this mad before, she knew how important those Jewels meant to him. She never touched them.
Tony turned and walked to the front desk, while Melanie remained behind.
"Oh Lisa, how can you steal from a millionaire and expect to be free? As if you don't have enough men eating from your palm. Like that Liam styles of yours" Melanie rolled her eyes in disgust.
Her voice oozed mockery. It was evident that she hated Lisa.
"I don't have time for your childish games, but I want to know. Is Alice behind all this? She lied, didn't she?" Lisa asked angrily. She held the bars with her bare hands so tight like she's about to rip them open.
"Easy there tiger, I don't know anything," she lied. "Just admit you did it. Maybe you're just mad I got your man, laid in bed with him, he touched me in ways he has probably never touched you. That man was starving for me Lisa, starving for my body, my lips. I gave him something you could only dream of.". Melanie mocked.
"you pathetic human being! What did I ever do to you?" Lisa tried to cry, but blinked her tears away painfully. She did not want to give Melanie the satisfaction of hurting her.
*****
It has been three days, no one had visited Lisa, just the officers who would come and beat her up till she bled or vomited. She wasn't allowed to shower. The only decent meal she had was that from the dirty floor.
"Mr styles, where are you now that I need you?" She sobbed..
"hey shut up or we will make you keep quiet." The female prisoner next to her cell yelled. It was a bad place, no one was friendly towards Lisa.
Five days later
At this point Lisa started falling sick, her body felt weak and she couldn't stand or speak. It had felt like forever in those filthy cells, she had no food or water in a long time. No one was allowed to visit her.
Meanwhile, Liam had been searching hard for her, the officers were bribed to hide all information about Lisa Young. No one would point him to where she was.
